Step 2 : Navigate to Start Bootstrap or Bootstrap Zero or Luis Zuno’s blog or any other place where you can download a quick Portfolio template. You can also build a site from scratch and follow the next steps to deploy to your hosting. I picked this One Page Resume and downloaded it on my machine.
